Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door with 725 HP

The German tuner Mariani presented a package of equipment and improvements for the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door, which makes this powerful sedan more aerodynamic and more powerful.

The car is equipped with an adjustable suspension that allows the car to be 55 mm closer to the ground, a more aggressive rear diffuser, a new exhaust system made of high-quality stainless steel, and tailpipes, while retaining the original shock absorbers and E-Active Body Control system.

Under the hood has seen the most change. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 725 hp (533 kW) and 700 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase over the standard GT 63 4-Door which has 577 hp (424 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm), while the more powerful GT 63 S 4-Door has 630 hp (463 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. It is mounted on a set of 21 or 22-inch rims.

However, this upgraded Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door is weaker than the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance. This powerful hybrid is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 843 hp (629 kW) and 1,084 lb-ft (1,400 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (316 km/h).
